The Polonowski reaction of NBnMO (4) afforded tropone (10) and the novel isoindole 11 besides the expected products benzaldehyde and acetmorpholide, in a temperature-dependent ratio. The reaction proceeded via two primary carbenium-iminium ion intermediates, an exo-centered species 5 which underwent a benzylium-tropylium type rearrangement, and a ring-centered species 6, which reacted further to isoindole 11 by intramolecular electrophilic substitution. The experimental findings were in good agreement with DFT computational data. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
